What is the primary function of EZ Provisioning?

The primary function of EZ Provisioning is to create a virtual volume with a one-to-one mapping. This means it is designed to simplify the provisioning process by establishing a direct relationship between the physical storage resources and the virtual volumes. This approach helps to streamline management and allocation of storage, providing clarity and efficiency in how virtual volumes are utilized and presented to users or applications.

By implementing a one-to-one mapping, EZ Provisioning enhances overall operational simplicity and minimizes complexity in storage architecture. This is particularly beneficial in environments with significant storage demands, as it supports effective resource utilization while maintaining performance and minimizing the risk of misconfiguration.

The other options focus on different aspects of volume management and provisioning that do not align with the primary objective of EZ Provisioning. For example, creating complex volume configurations or splitting storage volumes into extents are not the main goals of this feature. Instead, the focus remains on facilitating quick and straightforward virtual volume creation while ensuring clear relationships between virtual and physical resources.
